Can't connect to Remote SSH server using Exec server
Is there an existing issue for this bug?
- [x] I have searched the existing open issues and found none that apply.
- [x] If I find any issue of interest that is related or closed, I will included a link to it in this issue.
Required Troubleshooting Steps
- [x] I have read and performed the troubleshooting steps
- [x] I have tried both values of the
remote.SSH.useLocalServersetting - [x] My issue was not covered in the Tips and Tricks linked from the Troubleshooting Wiki.
- [x] I will include a complete copy of my Remote - SSH logs by running Remote-SSH: Show Log in the command palette or from View > Output in the menu bar
[Optional] Diagnose with Copilot
I asked @remote-ssh but it did not help
In step 2 of the troubleshooting wiki, what was the result of running the generated SSH command verbatim outside of VS Code?
I COULD successfully SSH to the remote machine with the generated SSH command

[20:51:33.406] ------
[20:51:33.407] No hints found in the recent session.
Expected Behavior
In my Remote.SSH settings, use Exec Server was enabled (probably automatically as I read that this will be made the default for everyone). I wanted to connect to my remote host.
Actual Behavior
The connection failed, however the SSH connection itself seems to work just fine. Just the server couldn't be started. I also don't get any logs on the host in the .vscode-server directory on the host.
Steps To Reproduce
- try to connect to a before working remote host with use Exec server enabled
- see the error message
Anything else?
I executed the Copilot assistant chat the was offered in the error message. He told me several things to check which I followed and provided him with my findings. For instance, I didn't get any logs on the host, so Copilot concluded that the server died before being able to write some logs. He in the end concluded that my running opensuse-tumbleweed doesn't match the alpine related download path from the client logs. This could be related to using musl in Alpine vs. using glibc in openSUSE.
Thanks for the details. You're saying that files in .vscode-server - specifically this file below - do not exist on the remote?
/home/chris/.vscode-server/.cli.19e0f9e681ecb8e5c09d8784acaa601316ca4571.log
Note that:
.clihas a.prefix in front of it, so you may need to dols -lato view the hidden file- The commit (
19e..) might be different
If that file is not there, that's the problem 🤔 That file needs to exist so the extension can parse out a port number
If for some reason your home directory isn't writeable, you can change the directory used with remote.SSH.serverInstallPath. That may help (if you try and it works, please let me know!)
It exists, but it has 0 KB. That's what I meant with no logs: an empty logfile.
I am also on OpenSUSE (though 15.6, not Tumbleweed) and I can't connect anymore in ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh. I'm pretty sure the issue started happening after upgrading openssh from v9 to v10 (10.0p2-lp156.5.2) on the server.
My log files are also 0 bytes.

Oddly, downgrading openssh on the server back down to something like 9.9p2-lp156.2.5 didn't fix the issue.
Similar issue as @archon810 on Aeon Desktop (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed derivative). I've always been on OpenSSH 9.9, so I don't think it's related to that. I think one thing to note is that the client can't get a port to bind to: listeningOn==== .

I'm recently experiencing a similar issue on multiple remote OpenSUSE Tumbleweed PCs as well. The failing servers' log files are 0B, and the terminal dumps look similar (i.e., remote installation to .vscode-server is OK; "listeningOn====") in the failing cases.
One thing to note is that I have three remote OpenSUSE machines that all used to work until recently: two currently exhibit the issue, while one does not (yet). The one that is currently working has not had a distro update in maybe two months. The not working PCs have both been updated within the past week.
For the record, the openssh versions are: 2 failing PCs: OpenSSH_10.0p2, OpenSSL 3.5.0 8 Apr 2025 1 still-working PC: OpenSSH_9.9p2, OpenSSL 3.2.4 11 Feb 2025
I'm facing the same problem with multiple linux servers. I do too always get the same errors when trying to connect to them via vscode remote extension (remote installation to .vscode-server is OK; "listeningOn== ... Failed to parse remote port from server output).
I tried comparing different hosts and came to the following conclusion:
Working OpenSSH_9.6p1, OpenSSL 3.1.4 24 Oct 2023 - OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 OpenSSH_9.2p1 Debian-2+deb12u6, OpenSSL 3.0.16 11 Feb 2025 - Debian 12
Not working OpenSSH_10.0p2, OpenSSL 3.5.0 8 April 2025 - OpenSUSE Tumbleweed
OpenSSH_9.6p1, OpenSSL 3.5.0 8 Apr 2025 OpenSSL 3.5.0 8 Apr 2025 (Library: OpenSSL 3.5.0 8 Apr 2025) openSUSE Leap 15.6
Remote connection is also not possible. Openssl ?
I successfully remoted into Leap 15.6, after downgrading OpenSSL.
OpenSSL 3.2.4 11 Feb 2025 (Library: OpenSSL 3.2.4 11 Feb 2025)
I have the same problem with suse tumbleweed after the latest update
Try downgrading OpenSSL.
have done that, but still:

have for now disabled useexec setting in vscode
Nice find! Disabling this setting vscode://settings/remote.SSH.useExecServer worked for me and I was able to finally connect. Not fully sure what the implications are of this, but things are working again.

In my case after that I can't use remote dev containers in my SSH-Server.
It appears that even now, VSCode server doesn't work with the newer versions of OpenSSL (3.5.x).
So as of the release of OpenSUSE Leap 16.0 i just updated 2 of my non-critical Leap 15.6 VM's to Leap 16.0 and the same error occurs. Before the upgrade a connection from VSCode was still possible.
Before - OpenSUSE Leap 15.6 OpenSSH_9.6p1, OpenSSL 3.1.4 24 Oct 2023
After - OpenSUSE Leap 16.0 OpenSSH_10.0p2, OpenSSL 3.5.0 8 April 2025
The workaround with disabling 'Use exec server' still seems to work. Kinda worrying, that microsoft still didn't fix this issue (did they even acknowledge this yet?).
It appears that even now, VSCode server doesn't work with the newer versions of OpenSSL (3.5.x).
But it works on ArchLinux （OpenSSH_10.2p1，OpenSSL 3.6.0 1）
